An unlikely post, but "Thanksgiving" and "Rescue" sort of make sense...

4am US Thanksgiving morning (after two hours of GS jr. being awake and insomnia!), GS awakes in terrible pain and after 45 min, hits the ER... 5 hours later (though the pain subsided shortly after arrival) is it determined that I passed a gall stone.

Fuck, I'm tired.... but thankful, I was released with a clean bill of health.

I'm really down right now because I have been given more work to complete this holiday week than I have received all year long. What kind of cold blooded cock sucker pulls some chicken shit move like that right on a family oriented holiday? I want to blow it all off and just say fuck it...

When many people think about the side-effects of a Thanksgiving feast, it usually involves either an expanding waistline or a post-meal nap on the couch. But a new study claims that the scent of one Turkey Day classic, pumpkin pie, can have some positive payoff in the bedroom.

The Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Center in Chicago recently tested the effects of 40 different scents on males ranging in age from 18 to 64 to see which caused the most arousal.

"The number one odor that enhanced penile blood flow was a combination of lavender and pumpkin pie," says the Center's director, adding that pumpkin pie was the single most successful stimulant.

As for the reason behind the arousal, the researcher said he could only guess that "Maybe the odors acted to reduce anxiety. By reducing anxiety, it acted to remove inhibitions."

He added that every scent they tested resulted in some level of arousal, leading him to the conclusion that "Nothing turns a man off."
